Darren Coleman, who's been there from the start, continues as head coach of NSW Country for a fifth year (and following his Shute success with Warringah last year).

Back in Sydney from France to join Daryl Gibson's coaching team at the Waratahs, Chris Whitaker will become the Sydney team boss.

Super semifinalist Tahs (minus test players) now split only two ways for 2018. Could be a NSW year for the NRC.

And as I noted previously, with the most friendly home start to the competition, it will be a mystery if the Sydney side doesn't win the whole damn thing.

looking forward to seeing what players role out for Sydney city or are they the Sydney ray.

Unfortunately only short time out from start of nrc and next to no publicity. I know it is run on a shoe string but just saying...as enjoy the quality of footy on offer but seems i am one of very small band who turns up to nrc games every season...

Its not that friendly. The shute shield final is on the first week of the NRC.

which is why the NSW teams don't play that first week.

Rugby Australia have been extremely kind to the Sydney clubs this year to accommodate the threat of a similar start. With the Shute Shield Grand Final to be played on the same weekend as Round 1 of NRC18 (1 September), we have the slightly quirky situation of a Round three and a half. Basically, Sydney will host NSW Country at Leichhardt Oval as Round 1 but the match won’t be played until the Wednesday night (19 September) in between Rounds 3 and 4. It means Syndey’s first four games are at home while NSW Country will play their first game of the season (Round 2) across on the West Coast, before coming back to their home state for their next three clashes.

But that is a matter totally in the control of the SRU or whoever is charged with putting the SS season together. I really don't see any reason why the NRC should be shifted around to accommodate an uncooperative element like the SS.

NSW Country jersey unchanged

The new Sydney jersey is the same as for the Rays team in the women's Uni 7s

Small SRU anchor on the placquet of the collar. And the International Cycling Union socks kept from the Rays' previous kit. :D

How bizarre to try and support a NSW team as we are not far away from start of the competition and will go to a few Rays games given playing near me but yet I don't even know what the team is and who is in it a few days away from the launch of the competition and you would have to be pretty rusted on and hunt down info to even know NRC is on.

Sigh one day they will market it. Surely a few sheckels could be offered by Twiggy with bit of grovelling especially as his beloved Force are involved and certainly NRC helps the force and therefore WSR.

All bizarre how still not got some marketing dollars here and surely with Twiggy-RA co-operation would have thought that could be possible.

Hey folks, been having a chat to Reg and I'll be helping coordinating the NSW games this year. Would anyone be into covering some home games for Sydney and NSW Country?

Couple of the news lads are interested in the Sydney ones. I might do the debry and the NSW Country one out at Camden. But happy to throw it out to everyone else if you like

Blue is the new Gold!

The Rising putting the traditional white hoops on their jersey helps a bit.

Mind you, there's a fair bit of blue in the Supe as well. Popular color.

And hopefully teams still use alternate jerseys when needed. These worked out alright to resolve most of the similarities in the past. First year of the NRC when many sides had only one kit wasn't too flash.

Yeah particularly the Western Force and Sydney jumpers have a similar blue to them.. could be confusing on the field together so hopefully someone has an alternate jersey.
Perhaps the Western Force pull out the Perth Spirit Jumpers of last year for their games against Sydney and maybe QLD Country?

Good idea. Hope they do, I didn't mind the Bumblebee jersey.

Also, All games in Sydney are covered now. We've still got three NSW Country games to be covered if any of you guys are up for it. :)
